everyone does know that ECS held the i7 oc wr for awhile with their x58 board correct?

Well to be perfectly honest they aren't ecs and they don't have the best reputation either. This is their high end board and it is probably upto spec with any other asus board these days, except sold at a budget.

I know and I was explaing the booing It seems that negative impressions come from people who have posted something negative about it. For example I didn't get a phenom because I heard so much negativity about it because the majority of people come on these forums to post about technical problems they have with it or it isn't as fast as what they thought it would be so it gives off a negative impression while if everyone who was satisfied with their phenom came on and made threads about how much an improvement it had been over their last cpu it would create a positive image of it. So what I'm basically saying is all this negativity is because we have seen people experienced problems or we have ourselves and this adds to a bad image of the item. I hope this makes sense

and in contrast I've had three and they all died. All of them because of overclocking which is not covered by the warrenty but it does make me want to avoid them if I plan on overclocking. Despite that though they worked fine and well spec'd for the price I paid.
